Moving plane in and out of hangar

[SkySteve]

Thanks for the thoughts. When going backwards (into my hangar) it's actually easier to grab the handle, push down to lift the nosewheel and pull the plane backwards. It's easy to position the plane in just the right spot when it is on the main gear only.

Hi Guys
I made up a "nose gear shovel" that just slides under the nose wheel, push down on the handle and wheel it in or out. I use 2 wheel barrow tires on the pivot point. Will try and remember a pic.
Yesterday we took 88 young aviators on our annual COPA for Kids program (Young Eagles) Nice to see our young folks still enjoy flying!!!
Cheers
Don

This reminds me of a guy I met at San Manuel Airport several years back. He had a considerable slope going into his hanger and he was quite proud of what he did to combat pushing or dragging his plane up that incline. His solution...He mounted a cable winch at the back of his T-hanger and throws a hook around his tail wheel walking it up pushing a button. I was thinking about that one this morning after filling my tanks, doing a few T & G's, then grabbing that little handle and dragging mine up out of the drainage area between the hangers. I wonder how much winches are going for <g>
